Akshay Kumar is returning to big time action after a long, self-imposed hiatus. The first film that will see him once again in his 'Khiladi' avatar is likely to be Yash Raj's, TASHAN, meaning style.

TASHAN, also featuring Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Anil Kapoor (reportedly in a negative role), is being directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya (Victor), who also wrote the screenplay (and dialogue) of Yash Raj hits like DHOOM and DHOOM 2.

The film will have both Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan getting new hairstyles. While Akshay will sport a short haircut (almost crew cut), Saif will get sideburns.

While on TASHAN, it will be Akshay's sixth film with both Kareena and Saif.
